<DIV>In the grand tradition of Neapolitan ice cream, ZZ Top, and Cerberus, the tri-headed guardian of Hades, this set combines individual, short fiction collections by three talented practitioners of the short-short form. Manguso's <I>Hard to Admit and Harder to Escape</I> is a series of crystalline recollections of her childhood misadventures; Eggers' <I>How the Water Feels to the Fishes</I> brings a deadpan absurdism to the intimacy and vision of his earlier work; and Unferth's rollicking <I>Minor Robberies</I> unleashes a horde of off-kilter characters and their indelible misadventures. Each author's work comes in its own hardcover, foil-stamped volume, and the three volumes are housed in an elegant slipcase.</DIV>
